New! Pride and Prejudice – Behind the Scenes

What did Mr. Darcy think when he first saw Elizabeth Bennet? How did Miss Bingley talk her brother out of proposing to Jane Bennet? And how did Lady Catherine de Bourgh find out Mr. Darcy was on the verge of proposing to Elizabeth? Fifteen authors of Austen-inspired fiction answer these questions and more. Here are the scenes Jane Austen never wrote: ones that happened off stage, such as Mr. Collins proposing to Charlotte Lucas, and actual Pride and Prejudice scenes from the point of view of different characters.

Many of you may have purchased P&P – The Scenes Jane Austen Never Wrote. It was a huge success raising over $9,000 for The Jane Austen House Museum.

If you didn’t get a copy, the bad news is it’s now out of print. Don’t despair, though! P&P – Behind the Scenes is the updated version, including scenes contributed by some of the authors more recently added at Austen Variations. In fact, 50% of the book is brand new material! So even if you already own the old edition, there are tons of fresh, exciting scenes for you too.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE – BEHIND THE SCENES is not a complete novel in and of itself. It is a collection of scenes written independently and designed to complement the original. The reader can start at the beginning or dip into any scene they choose.
